Why you should commence your Felling and Pelaw lease extension

Main reasons to start your Felling and Pelaw lease extension today:

A Felling and Pelaw lease depreciates with the years remaining on the lease.

With a residential leasehold property in Felling and Pelaw, you effectively rent it for a certain period of time. Modern flat leases typically tend to be for 99 years or 125. Even though this may appear like a lengthy period of time, you may consider a lease extension sooner as opposed to later. The general rule is that the shorter the lease is the cost of extending the lease increases markedly particularly once there are less than eighty years remaining. Residents in Felling and Pelaw with a lease drawing near to 81 years left should seriously think of extending it without delay. Once the lease term has below eighty years outstanding, under the relevant statute the freeholder can calculate and demand a greater amount, assessed on a technical calculation, strangely termed as “marriage value” which is payable.

Felling and Pelaw property with a lease extension is almost the same value as a freehold

It is conventional wisdom that a property with in excess of one hundred years remaining is worth roughly the same as a freehold. Where an further ninety years added to any lease with more than 30 years left, the premises will be equivalent in value to a freehold for many years ahead.

Lenders will not loan monies with a short lease

Most mortgage lenders will not grant a mortgage on a lease with under 70 years unexpired - although this varies between mortgage companies. A buyer will no doubt find it difficult in obtaining a mortgage and this will result in your Felling and Pelaw property being difficult to dispose of or refinance.
